Anyone else catch Sam Harris’s absolute dumpster fire of an interview?
He was a guest on another podcast, and stuck his foot in it repeatedly. It was a primo performance. He’s trying to hedge and backtrack as we speak.
Basically, he admitted that his pretensions to calm, rational, scientific thought was all a facade, and if hunter biden had dead children in his basement, it would STILL be worth suppressing the laptop stories just to keep Trump out of the Oval Office for a second term. He seemed to think the trump corruption vastly outclasses the Biden corruption, but he could only seem to come back to the Trump University scandal as an example.
Anyway, it was an interesting insight into how irrational even those who profess to be rational are. I wonder how to parse his thoughts on covid in light of this peak into his mind.
